With an extensive estate of leading-leisure brand names, Press Up Entertainment approached cost-reduction experts GAS to represent them in the contract renegotiations with their long-list of energy suppliers.

Following an extensive review of their business, GAS discovered that some of their contracts had elapsed and, as a result, many sites were paying above-market, out-of-contract rates.

SOLUTION

Following a comprehensive investigation and analysis of the leisure destination’s existing energy contracts, GAS’s team of industry-leading procurement specialists were able to utilise their superior buying power to renegotiate their current terms and establish significant cost savings of €100,000 (£83,500) over the course of their new contract.

As part of their long-term commitment to customer care, GAS’ team of energy specialists will continue to undertake energy audits at their sites to provide ongoing guidance and recommendations on how to further enhance their savings by reducing their energy consumption levels.

In GAS, Press Up Entertainment have found a partner with the expertise and portfolio of services to provide an end-to-end solution that would allow them to not only reduce their current energy spending, but also manage their expenditure long-term across their entire estate.
